WAAAYTOOO 9,424 Report post Posted October 26, 2019 Oops. I made a mistake. Sorry. Pookie, those 2 BR ATS are original so there’s no particular issue with low ceilings. It’s the 1BR ATS that were added later. Sorry for the bogus information. Didn’t mean to cause stress where there shouldn’t be any ! I guess at 6’7” there’s always a possibility that he might have clearance issues but none that are caused by adding a room that was something else before. Thanks, Sabrina ! 1 Lovetocruise2002 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to recall some YouTube videos and blogs where people said the shower was low for taller people. I never paid it much attention since none of us are over 6 feet tall. I've only ever been in the 2BDR ATS on Harmony, so I don't know about Oasis and Allure... 1 WAAAYTOOO reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michelle6213 1 Report post Posted November 18, 2019 We are in a 2 bed ATS on the Oasis in January. Are the different classes/activities included? Meaning, sushi making, cupcake decorating, mixology? I wish there was somewhere that described in detail all the benefits of Star Class other than the generic listing on their website. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Levi 25 Report post Posted November 18, 2019 The classes and activities are not included and are an additional charge. Is this the generic' listing you're referring to? I think it spells out the perks and amenities nicely. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/what-are-the-benefits-of-the-suites-program Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typically, we book suites of one sort or another. This time, in our "happy & relaxed" state, we chose an Aqua Theater Suite on Oasis of Seas, (choking somewhat on the cost!) as a surprise for our daughter for her graduation from high school. (This will be her first cruise). At that time, perks were mentioned, but as the cruise was two years out, we did not remember what was said. (We claim to this day it was not the fault of our refreshments.) We are almost down to the ninety day mark and we've been reading/watching videos for every scrap of information we can find about Star Class/Royal Genies. The Live Blogs are a particular favorite. We have combed social media for pics of the drydock process. Our excitement knows no bounds and we are like little kids who have had too much candy! I have a tote started with items to go, computer lists... we have vowed to not OVERPACK. We have vowed to be ORGANIZED for our Genie so he/she will not have to struggle with what we hope to achieve. I hope to Live Blog and will probably start out doing so. After the first day...who knows... I sent this GIF to my daughter this morning with the fact that there will be less than 60 Star Class passengers on board: We would never act this way, but I do wonder if we will feel this way....BAHAHAHA I would like to thank @WAAAYTOOO, @SweetPea and @Lovetocruise2002 for all the great information they have provided! I hope to provide an account of what our experiences are for future Star Class cruisers. Pookie (Yummy's pet name for me.) . I had to laugh at your description of how you ended up booking your suite. We ended up with ours under the same circumstances. After free flowing cocktails in the concierge lounge on the Allure we thought it would be a great idea to book our ATS and take our 4 - early 20ish kids as an xmas gift. 1 Pookie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, typically the sushi and cupcake classes are included. As are the Bridge and Galley tours and also the Escape room. Any classes involving alcohol is usually an additional charge. I took pics of all the star class literature in this blog: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/boards/index.php?/topic/10695-“i-dream-of-genie”-–-star-class-harmony-of-the-seas-–-031019-031719/ 1 1 Pookie and Michelle6213 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I currently have a live blog going if you want to follow along. We only have 47 more days of waiting!!! When is your cruise @Pookie? Love the gif by the way!!! I will follow your blog. We are doing the villa on SOTS in April, so all information from you will be awsome and very helpful. This will be our first star class.

SweetPea 463 Report post Posted January 6 Trying to convince Batman to do Oasis SC so I'm here and following. 😊 Of course this means canceling our NCL Encore Haven, and I'm quickly losing time as final is due 1/13. 🙄 Oh, and we're reformed DCL Concierge cruisers also. Their pricepoint just does not justify the perks (or lack thereof, really). 😅 1 Pookie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pookie 407 Report post Posted January 7 So to keep the information flowing smoothly, I will mention again (since I apparently posted it in the other thread) that we received our Genie letter last night! It arrived 34 days out. I can now quit obsessively checking my email every 3 minutes🤓 WE HAVE ALLAN! Over the past month, since turning in our questionnaire, we have been compiling an outline of possibilities, wants and even a couple of leave off the lists. For all that, it was not a very big list...Allan did thank us in this initial email for turning in our questionnaire. We emailed the list we made tonight. Hopefully it doesn’t make his eyes cross and will help make his job easier... From what we’ve read about him, we have hit the Genie Jackpot. I’d love to hear your favorite memories of Allan! 1 Lovetocruise2002 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
